About the game
You’ve got an opportunity to build the biggest and best casino this city’s ever seen. Take a chance on your own skill and hopefully it’ll pay off. Bet on yourself with Place Your Bets 6-card expansion that adds extra goals to work towards! Each game you’ll add two new goals (in addition to your normal set of 3) that must be completed to achieve victory. You’ll also need to consider the two Mega Structures in the deck. These 4-block buildings must be placed on The Strip and can’t be covered, so build wisely! Draw 3 Casinopolis goals as normal, then choose in which order to place them to create the one-, two-, and three-chip bets. Draw 2 of the new goal cards, placing one underneath the lowest-value base goal (with the “lowest” side showing) and one underneath the highest-value base goal (with the “highest” side showing). These goals vary in difficulty based on which end is showing as well as their position, but both must be completed to win. Two expansion cards are shuffled into the Casinopolis deck with their Mega Structures showing. These cards have 4 matching blocks as well as normal icons. They can only be placed on The Strip and cannot be covered once placed. While they count as only one block for the purpose of scoring casino size, their sprawling size makes them useful for completing scoring goals!
